Alexxandr [17]
Draw a right triangle so that its hypotenuse is 600 ft. The adjacent side is below the vertical, and it makes an angle of 75° with the hypotenuse.

Let h =  height of the right triangle.
By definition,
sin75° = h/600
h = 600*sin75° = 579.555 = 580 ft (nearest ft)

Answer: 580 ft (nearest foot)

What height would cause an object to have no gravitational potential energy
OverLord2011 [107]
The height is zero.
That means whatever place is your reference for height measurement,
the object is lying right there at that height.

We're told that the planets have EQUAL MASS.

If that's true, then the strength of the gravitational forces between
each planet and the star depends only on the distance between
them ... the farther a planet is from the star, the smaller the
gravitational forces are IF we're talking about planets with
equal masses.

Planet-X is closer to the star, and Planet-Y is farther from it. 
From this we know that the gravitational forces between the
star and Planet-X are greater, and the forces between the star
and Planet-Y are smaller.

'A' says this.

'B' is totally absurd, because it talks about gravity repelling things.

'C' says exactly the opposite for the two planets.

'D' says that distance doesn't matter.  We know this is absurd,
simply because we're never pulled toward Jupiter in our daily life.

A type of light bulb is labeled having an average lifetime of 1000 hours. It’s reasonable to model the probability of failure of
SashulF [63]

Answer:

0.2592 \ or \ 25.92\%

Explanation:

The exponential density function is given as

f(t)=\left \{ {{0} \atop {ce^{ct}}} \right\\0,t

\mu=\frac{1}{c}\\c=\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\=\frac{1}{1000}=0.001\\\\f(t)=0.001e^{-0.001t}

To find probability that bulb fails with the first 300hrs, we integrate from o to 300:

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=\int\limits^{300}_0 {f(t)} \, dt\\\\=\int\limits^{300}_0 {0.001e^{-001t}} \, dt\\ =|-e^{-0.001t}|  \ 0\leq t\leq 300

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=-0.7408+1\\=0.2592

Hence probability of bulb failing within 300hrs is 25.92% or 0.2592
